In normal times, Shi Chang, who was born in the landing show, would not be angry with these small merchants and peddlers who sell firewood. Although they all exuded an almost suffocating stench and were vulgar, they could bring income to Zeng Dashuai, whom he admired. It seems that the money collected is a little less, but the flies are also meat, so why not accumulate bit by bit.

Not today, today is the prefect who wants to travel, and a group of dirty men block the way of the adults, which clearly shows that he has no ability. Shi Chang's face was pulled, and he took two steps to the group of ignorant grass people, a pair of cross-eyed eyes that couldn't wait to stare at cowbells, and the whip made of rattan in his hand was also raised high, "Bastards, stinky pigs, get out of the way for me, your eyes are in the crotch of your pants."

Of course, Liu Xihe's eyes were bright, and when he saw the prefect of Hengzhou in front of the green sedan chair, his heart almost blossomed, this was really fat to his mouth. He dodged sideways with the whip that Shi Chang had drawn from his skull and punched him hard in the lower abdomen.

Shi Chang didn't expect the other party to come like this, and when he was beaten, he immediately bent down. Liu Xihe quickly pulled out the waist knife hanging on Shi Chang's waist, without giving the other party any chance, the knife swung hard from the bottom up, and the blade accurately cut Shi Chang's throat.

This qiē happened in an instant, and the dozen or so Xiang Yong in the cave of the city gate and the deacons of the prefect's yamen sounded the gong to open the way, all of them were dumbfounded, until they saw that the firewood sellers all pulled out the snowy big knives from the firewood and grass burdens, cut melons and vegetables, and put down a few companions, they woke up like a dream, "Mom! Screaming, turning around and running, some of them were even more vigorous, but the soles of their feet did not obey the call, and they couldn't move a single step.

As Liu Xihe pulled out a grenade from his waist, seven or eight grenades flew towards the prefect's sedan chair together. The green nylon sedan chair and the small sedan chair that followed behind were blown to shreds, and the officials and deacons were blown up and their flesh and blood flew sideways. "The Heavenly Army has broken the city!" Liu Xihe shouted, according to the pre-preparation, leaving a few soldiers to guard the city gate, and he led the others to run up the horse road at the head of the city like a whirlwind, smashing grenades. There were originally few Qing soldiers in the city, but under this crazy blow, they either died in Huangquan or ran away.

When the explosion of a grenade sounded at the city gate, the men and horses of the Heavenly Army Brigade who were hiding outside the city rushed up with a shout under the leadership of Hou Yutian and rushed into the west gate. After the people and horses converged, like an iron fist, they began to pounce on the shipyard of the Hunan army all the way.

Chu Ruhang, Peng Yulin, Hu Jiayuan, and others are discussing the future artillery configuration of fast crab ships, long dragon ships, and sampan ships at shipbuilders. At present, there are more than 30 fast crab boats and long dragon boats, and 70 or 80 sampans, and the artillery ordered by Peng Yulin from Guangzhou has reached nearly 100 breech foreign iron cannons of 1,000 catties, and although the others are still on the way, it is estimated that they will arrive soon. It seems that the sailor will be able to play a game in two or three months.

Just as the discussion was hot, the faint sound of explosions from time to time in the city confused them. Chu Ruhang frowned and listened carefully in the direction of the explosion, it didn't look like a cannon, of course, it was definitely not the sound of firecrackers, he looked at Peng Yulin and Hu Jiayuan, "What kind of noise is this?" ”

Peng Yulin and Hu Jiayuan looked at each other, and neither of them could say anything. However, Hu Jiayuan was finally smarter, called a sentry commander under him, and sent him to take someone to check in the direction of the sound. The shipyard is guarded by his men, and it's always better to be careful.

After a few more moments, with an even more dense explosion, the three of them could not freeze. Chu Ruhang led the way to the gate of the shipyard, pushed away the soldiers gathered here in a mess, and looked into the distance. In fact, he couldn't see anything, and in the distance were a cluster of houses, and all doubts were blocked by it.

"Don't it's something going on over there at the sailor's camp, right?" Peng Yulin finally remembered that the explosion seemed to come from the sailor training camp, "It's strange, why are there any mobs here?" ”

He guessed correctly, what happened now was Zeng Guofan's painstaking efforts to establish the Hunan Army Water Battalion to confront the Heavenly Army Water Division.

The shipyard in Hengzhou was only established at the end of September this year, and the Xiangtan shipyard was also built. And the 10th battalion of the sailor division that was originally planned to be recruited has only just gathered enough personnel for 4 battalions. In addition to the battalion guarding the shipyard, three battalions of Hu Zuolin, Chu Dianyuan and Xia Luan were stationed here. Since the artillery on the ships had not yet been equipped, according to Chu Ruhang's arrangement, the battalions had been conducting land training.

At this time, it happens to be the three battalions of people and horses conducting physical training. The officers and men took the sentry units as units, and under the leadership of the sentry commanders, they were busy running dry bridges, swinging, lifting stone locks, and so on, so as to make these villagers and peasants adapt to the requirements of the future battlefield. In a word, in the three barracks, except for the soldiers and officers at the sentry posts, there was no one with a weapon in his hand.

This can't be completely blamed on Chu Ruhang, the "president of each battalion" of the water division, for if you want to train a group of peasants and mountain people into an invincible army, without meticulous ideological, organizational, discipline, and adaptive training, is that okay? Knives, spears, and even long and short firearms are all stored in the warehouse, and the next step is to train in this area. In this regard, after all, he still has his own opinions, he did not accept the idea of Peng Yulin, who came back from Guangzhou, if according to Peng Yulin's meaning, the sailor is the sailor, the water warriors can have enough physical fitness, it is enough to know how to operate boats and guns, where is it necessary to practice what swords and spears. It should be emulated from the Western naval divisions, the officers wear swords for the sake of beauty, and in case there is a riot in the water, it is easy to put it away. Besides, the sailor is going to be mixed up to the point where he should fight with the opponent with a knife and spear, so can he still be called a sailor?

In any case, when Hou Yutian and Liu Xihe's soldiers divided into two routes, broke into the left and right battalions of the Hunan army, and faced the unarmed and dazed Shui Yong, when they slashed and killed, this qiē was not Chu Ruhang's fault, and of course, it would not be Peng Yulin's fault. The fault is that the Heavenly Army is too cunning.

Hu Zuolin and Chu Dianyuan were hit by this blow as if falling from the sky, and they all thought of running madly towards Xia Luan's camp in the middle, which of all the remnants of the defeated army was willing to lag behind, and they were even more desperate to run wildly, of course, they always consciously or unconsciously helped the opponent loudly and shouted, "Long hair is here!" That voice was far more shocking and destructive than the shouting and killing of the heavenly army.

The soldiers of the Celestial Army, who were chasing after them, surrounded nearly a thousand Hunan Army Shui Yong regiments from all sides. In the explosion of a grenade, it was not a few, but a dozen, and it was human porridge, you hit me, I hit you, squeezed and squeezed. Everyone hopes that others can block a knife for themselves, and some even hate to squeeze into the stomach of their peers to have a sense of security.

Hou Yutian and Liu Xihe are like butchers in the slaughterhouse, slaughtering mercilessly, whether you resist or beg for mercy. If they want to gain a firm foothold, they must first sweep away these pretentious crowds and set an example for those who dare to confront the Heavenly Army.

So, with the dancing of the swords and spears of the Heavenly Army, more throats erupted not with a single word, but with gritted teeth and angry scolding, "Raised by a bitch, you dare to confront the Heavenly Army!" "I want to go back when I come out, let's see your grandma!" "Haha, I'll send you home!"

To say that the most anxious thing is that Shi Xiangzhen strengthened the guards of the Liu Brigade. Originally, this was a musket team that concentrated the foreign guns of the whole army, with more than 200 long and short guns, which was really the elite of the whole army. From the beginning of the battle to the present, they have been placed at the end of the brigade. Now that others are happily slashing and killing, the musketeers can only hide on the sidelines, watching from the wall, and in the name of guarding the whole brigade, is it not clear that they don't want to make themselves rob the merit?
